W3C organizes Workshops to promote early involvement in the development of W3C activities from Members and the public. The goal of a workshop is usually either to convene experts and other interested parties for an exchange of ideas about a technology or policy, or to address the pressing concerns of W3C Members. A list of past W3C Workshops is available.
The Multilingual Web – The Way Ahead
Luxembourg
Hosted by the Directorate-General for Translation (DGT) of the European Commission.
Building on the success of the preceding events in Madrid, Pisa, and Limerick, this workshop will once again bring together speakers and participants with an interest in best practices and standards aimed at helping content creators, localizers, tools developers, and others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web. It provides further opportunities for networking across communities that span the various aspects involved.
Linked Enterprise Data Patterns: Data-driven Applications on the Web
Cambridge, MA, USA
Hosted by W3C/MIT
Linked Data technology also offers a huge potential for enterprise applications, e.g., for the integration and the management of data within and across enterprises. The distributed nature of Linked Data enables loose-coupling for data sharing within and between organizations. With Linked Data, enterprises have a unique opportunity to cooperate in their use of shared data without the costs of extensive coordination. Sharing a common data model (RDF) allows us to establish design patterns for providing dereferencable resource identifiers, migrating and cloning data as business needs and data authorities evolve. These will address issues such as data distribution, query federation, access control, encryption and signature, legal problems around the access of datasets and business models in using open or closed linked data. Please join the W3C Linked Data community at this workshop to air requirements, share solutions and develop a healthy and scalable Linked Enterprise Data infrastructure.
